- Okay, in today's video we are going to be roasting
some of my old videos.
- I'm sorry!
(laughs)
Had your balls not completely dropped yet?
- "Hi, I'm Chris Hau and this is Sitting on the
"Dock of the (laughs)"
- Couple days ago, Lizzy and I were re-watching
some of my old content
and we were like, "Wow this is so bad, so embarrassing."
And we thought it'd be fun to show you.
Plus, Lizzy's very savage, so
let's introduce the woman who has a comment for everything,
Lizzy Pearce.
(can opening)
(drinking)
So I want to give a bit of context,
today we're going to be watching my series of videos
where I liked to play guitar and do some sort of activity.
So it started with, I'm going to surf
and play guitar at the same time.
And then all of sudden it turned into
I'm going to parasail and play guitar at the same time.
- He did this several times,
and you should know that I was
dating you
- Yeah.
- At this time.
And I participated in like 90%
of the filming of these.
Like I was on set and helped,
and shot part of it.
I supported this.
I would've helped you do anything.
- And I learned so much.
♪ Hello darkness my old friend ♪
- Let's start the first video.
Here we go, get that logo right up in front.
(boat motoring)
- [Lizzy] Why is it sideways?
- Hi, my name is Chris Hau.
This is Sitting on the Dock--
- I'm sorry.
(laughter)
Had your balls not completely dropped yet?
- I do sound like a child.
- Sitting on the Dock of the Bay,
by Otis Redding.
- "Hi I'm Chris Hau,
and this is Sitting on the Dock of the Bay."
(laughs)
- My voice does sound so different, doesn't it?
Okay, before you play,
also what is this horrible, horrible font?
I was trying to be like, "I'm organic,
"like Jason Mraz."
- Yeah that looks very like you were going
for Jason Mraz vibes.
- But look at, like--
- My name is Chris Hau
this is Sitting on the Dock of the Bay
- Also, what are these pants I'm wearing?
- So, tell me,
what was the motivation behind the shorts?
(laughs)
- I wanted people to know I was playing guitar, obviously.
- Did you buy those for yourself?
- No my mom bought them for me.
(laughs)
- Which was-- it's nice, it's very helpful.
- You just took the gimmick level of it
though, and you just brought it up.
- Okay, let's keep going.
- One, two, one two three--
- [Lizzy] "FYI this is live"
(laughs)
- I want--
- No!
- Well, because
I knew that people wouldn't believe it was real.
So, and the thing is,
it actually is real.
- [Lizzy] No.
(guitar strumming)
- [Lizzy] I love how you have the little
spirit microphone there.

- [Chris] You hear that?
You hear that little laugh in there to make it fun?
(laughs)
- "Watching the ships roll in, ha"
(laughs)
It's not bad considering it's live.
One thing to consider here is, there's a giant engine
that you can't hear yourself singing.
So I practiced in my garage
with a lawnmower on
to do it.
Did you know that?
- I did know that, I forgot.
- Everyday, I turned the lawnmower on in my garage
and play it until I sang in tune
because I couldn't hear myself.
Because the engine from the boat is so loud.
- Wakesurfing in Canada
is a boat that creates a wave
and this board surfs the wave created by the boat.
So he is not attached to the boat.
Let me preface this now,
he not attached to the boat.
Everyone thinks he's being pulled by the frickin' boat.
- Yeah, everyone.
- So he's not being pulled by the boat,
this is live audio, if you didn't see
it's live-uhhhh.
- Just FYI.
- He practiced with a lawnmower, okay?
- [Lizzy] Oh split screen.

(laughs)
Why?
- That was also Chris's thing at the time,
was doing the white boy rap.
- Yeah.
- Because, what more appropriate song
to do said white boy rapping
than "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay"?

now we had to be rapping, surfing and playing guitar.

You know what's even funnier?
Is I had to write it backwards
because of the cameras.
So it says "Subscribe now", backwards.
- [Lizzy] Five seconds left.
- [Chris] Ew.
Ew.
Stop it.
- [Lizzy] How long did you do that?
- Hey guys, first things first,
thank you so much for wathcing my video I--
- Your whole face looks different.
- I look like a different person.
- What's up with your eyes?
Why do your eyebrows look like that?
So it's not just that.
Your face genuinely looks different.
Okay, anyways let's keep going.
- Thank you so much for watching my video.
I had a blast working on this project
and I got pretty close to falling in the water
a couple of times.
Don't think my guitar would have been too happy of that.
I-- this is the worst script.
I definitely wrote this
and then probably did it like 900 times
and it sounds so disingenuine.
- You're just rehearsing it.
But also,
why are you talking out the side of your mouth like that?
- Tweet at people like Ellen,
would actually mean the world to me to--
- "Tweet at Ellen." Wow.
Your standards are real up high.
- That was the thing back then,
was to get featured on Ellen.
Okay, next, you're going to laugh at this one.
(boat motor roaring)
Hi, my name's Chris Hau,
and I'm going to parasail and play guitar
at the same time.
- I love how you-- (laughs)
You look like a kid in a swing,
and their legs are just flailing,
like they have no control over their bodies.
They're like--
" My name's Chris Hau and I'm gunna--"
- [Chris] "Parasail and play guitar at the same time."
And I had to remind everyone that this is live.
- You couldn't have made that arrow white?
Look at your concentration face.
That's my favorite.
You actually still do that face, it's my favorite.
It's like.
(laughs)
- You want a moment?
Is that what I do when I'm editing videos?
I remember at the time, while doing it,
I thought it was really cool.
I remember being like, "Oh enjoy this moment."
But look at my little feet dangling.
Oh my God.
I hate my--
- The goofy smile.
- I hate the disingenuous smile so much.
- Yeah.
- [Chris] It's a nice song
and this actually is live.
- All right, that's all you need to see of that.
Okay, you ready?
- Oh, yes.
This is the one.
- By this point, the surfing and playing guitar video
finally went viral.
- Right.
- "Viral"-sih, it got like 10 or 20,
50,000 views, something like that.
- It got featured on Huffington Post
and then it got on Good Morning America.
Now, I have the clip from Good Morning America,
which is cool.
- [Lizzy] That is cool.
- [Announcer] Real quick virtual vacation.
This is Chris Hau,
who, as we can see, can in fact
surf, sing, and play guitar
all at the same time.
- [Other Man] It's unfair really.
It's unfair that somebody's that talented.
- [Announcer Woman] That's some acoustics, there.
- [Other Man] Yes.
- [Announcer] Being towed, as if it matters.
- Remember when we said that he's not attached to the boat?
Literally, everybody got it wrong.
- Everybody.
- [Announcer] I'll just take that weather right now.
I am in there.
- I have so many questions, though.
I'm concerned about his guitar, the salt water
but I digress, sorry.
- She's worried about the salt water.
Okay, I remember I sent them an email,
they were like, "what are the three things
"you would like us to know?"
And I said, "I'm not being pulled by boat,
"it's in Canada on a freshwater lake,
"and it's live."
And I think they got almost all those wrong.
- Pretty much all of it wrong.
They took what it was-- and I mean,
I'm not saying it's great, okay?
But I'm just saying, they took what it was
which wasn't up here, it's about here,
and they just brought it down.
- Now, this is final one.
- The creme da la creme.
La piece de resistance.
- I was like, "I'm going to flyboard.
"I'm going to do another activity on water."
And if you're not sure what fly boarding is,
it's literally jets attached to you feet
that attach to a Sea Doo
and you can fly above the water
using pressure from the jets on your feet.
You'll see this magic.
And Discovery Channel came out and filmed this madness.
And I'd like to say that I was paid $100
for a licensing fee for that.
So they definitely didn't take adgvantage of me.
Hah!
(fast guitar music)
- [Lizzy] You just soar out of the water.
(fast guitar music)
- [Chris] This is a lot to take in all at once.
- Wait, I have question.
So why'd you chose this song?
- Okay I picked this song--
the chorus is like, "they call me crazy
"and if you can call me Superman."
And I was like, "I look like I'm flying,
"like Superman."
- Yeah.
- I'm so cheesy, guys.

What came together?
What thoughts and decisions led this to happen?

- There are a lot of people that went--
this is a couple hours outside the city.

- [Lizzy] Which of these things did you think
would make it cool?
Are you just-- you're just throwing shit together.
It's like if you mix every color in the rainbow together,
it doesn't make a nice color.
You took everything you had, and you're just like
and it's not good.
Were you worried you were going to fall?
- Totally!
Do you know how easy it is to just
dive bomb on these things?
- No, I never rode it.
I wanted to.

- A big shoutout to Summer Watersports
for hooking us up today and teaching me how to fly.
If you guys want to learn how to fly,
check the details below.
And if you have any ideas for any other videos I should do--
- [Chris] Oh my god.
- Were you 22 or 23?
So it's not that long ago, you were a full man.
I just can't believe your voice still gets deeper
from early twenties to late twenties.
- Yeah.
Thanks for coming and ripping me apart.
It did humble me though.
I learned a ton from doing this,
but I think, if I'm being honest with myself,
I think my intentions weren't--
- Pure?
- Pure.
I think that's what fundamentally destroyed this,
and I think out of any lesson--
- You were just like, "Fame!"
You just wanted fame,
and that's never a good reason to go into anything.
- Totally.
I think I thought-- I wanted people to think I was cool,
and I think I went so far into
wanting people to think I was cool,
that it wasn't cool.
- So now the only question is,
am I sleeping on the couch tonight?
- No.
- Aww.
- It's actually the number one thing I'm going to put
in my wedding vows,
is I think you definitely humbled me
and made me a better person.
(mumbling)
(kissing)
- Ew, gross, get outta here!
- So yeah. Hopefully you guys enjoyed those videos.
It's fun to look back on those things and kind of laugh.
I think, at the time, I thought they were the shit
and there's some cool parts and there's some lame parts,
mostly lame.
